• I’m baaaaaaaaack!

  [mood | bittersweet]
  [music| 五月天- 我又初戀了]

  I’m back from Taiwan! It was great to go back (it’s been 3 years) and I definitely missed my friends there. I didn’t get to see everyone (sorry guys!) that I planned on seeing, but there is always next summer!

  So, more of an update later….I know you guys just want to see the pics anyways!

  On the way to Taiwan…

  

  @ LAX waiting for our flight

  

  That is the first meal on the plane. The way back was even nastier, so I didn’t bother with a pic (plus I couldn’t reach my bad due to super-bitch in front of me)

  We flew China Air. It was my first time flying with them and I wouldn’t reccomend it again. Stick w/ Eva or Singapore Air. Even the time I went on United was better. The flight there was okay–every nice new leather seat had it’s own personal tv screen and you could watch movies, hear songs or play games in Chinese or English. The food sucked of course, the lu rou fan…eh not even I could have made it that bad but nothing beats the flight back. IT SUCKED!!! There were no more nice new leather seats, instead itchy, dirty smelly ones. Forget the personal tv’s, there was just ONE for the whole section. Oh and there was less leg room, not to mention the old annoying Vietnamese biatch that sat in front of me who had sheer pleasure of flying, not gently reclining, her seat back, cracking my knees everytime. I have bruises!!!! oh and don’t forget the loud autistic kid who screamed and talked for all 12 hours! Ugh…

  I didn’t take a lot of pics in Taiwan due to the horrible weather (2 typhoons and tons of rain) and my crankiness. For those of you who didn’t already know I am already (unexpectently) 14 weeks pregnant, so I am sure that didn’t help my mood.

  So we stayed w/ my friend Winny (fegecheng), who is 7 months pregnant. She is still tiny and probably weighs less than me!!!  (excuse me, I am completely hormonal right now lol). I love staying at Winny’s house. Basically we did a lot of catching up w/ friends, some sight seeing for sake of my school (I will spare you with those pics), visiting family and friends, and shopping.

  This time was different than every other time in Taiwan. More on that later….

  So as you wanted, time for pics!

  

  Sam, Weiyi, Nikolena and Fanny @ Ferris Wheel at 美麗華 (Mirimar)

  

  Charlie & I at the Ferris Wheel.

  As you can see I hate when Charlie takes my pic, so every pic he took I didn’t smile in. I am not sure why I have that habit. For some reason it just annoys me. Oh and that Ferris Wheel is HUGE; it takes 20 mins to do the full circle!

  

  Winny, Nikolena and Charlie outside of Winny’s apartment. As yuo can see, our tummies are big now…

  

  Sam, Winny, Nikolena, Charlie and Weiyi. It’s funny, I am the only white girl in the pic…but even with heels I am the shortest!

  

  Sam, Nikolena, Charlie and Wei-yi

  

  Sam, Nikolena and Wei-yi @ the airport (I know, we do this same pic every year)

  What is Sam doing to Bart?!?!

  

  Whew, finally a normal one

  

  Look at Winny & Homer, she’s such a homewrecker

  

  See, I mean it’s like Marge doesn’t even exist….lol

   

  

  Bozhi and I posing outside of a bar. He wouldn’t put me on his back for this one!

   

  

  Charlie, Sam, Bozhi, Wei-yi, Winny, Nikolena, Fanny (Sam’s twin sister) Xiao Zi (Angela) and her bf at a bar.

  

  Don’t ask why I look so bitchy in my pics….lol I was having a good time, I swear!

  

  Claire, Nikolena, Xiao Zi, Winny, Charlie and Sam @ Xin Jiang BBQ Restaraunt.
  (Wei-yi had already left and Fanny hadn’t yet arrived.) This place is pretty good but really hard to find!
